Nostalgia & History > Front and Rear of a SP Train, Roger Puta Photos, 9301

Slide processing date September 1981.  Location?  The signal plate says 2058.  The shot with the caboose is still too blue.

Thanks,
Marty Bernard

Soledad? By the looks of the hills, it makes me think somewhere in the Salinas Valley

Between Wellsona and San Miguel on the Coast Line.

Narrowing it a little bit. Between McKay and San Miguel.

Don't think so.  Looks more like San Miguel, the north end of town, where Mission St follows the tracks.

Signal 2058 an the Coast was almost exactly midway between San Miguel and the east switch of the east siding at McKay.

If you use photoshop, here's a quick and dirty method of achieving quick white balance:
1) Import image into CC
2) duplicate image
    2a ) on the duplicated image:
             Filter->Blur->average
    2b) go back to the image in 1)
3) on original image:
    Layer->new adjustment layer->curves
4) in the curve properties window, click on the middle eye dropper in the left hand side.
     then go to the blur in 2a and click on it with the eye dropper
Now you have an adjusted image.  Save it as a JPEG for posting
Here''s what you get -- does not fix the other issues with the sky.
this works for both scanned slides and for images made in-camera

One more addition - you can use the blend mode on the layer to reduce the effect down from 100% to about 70% which looks better to my eye. (second image)

West bound, east of the No. 1 siding at Mckay (landside) and the house track switch at San Miguel (oceanside) The signal is the approach to the siding at San Miguel that was about 15 cars east of the house track switch on the landside.
